Leaves May 27th
Roy Andersson | Sweden, Germany, Norway | 2019 | 76m | Swedish with English subtitles
with Bengt Bergius, Anja Broms, Marie Burman

A reflection on human life in all its beauty and cruelty, its splendour and banality.

We wander, dreamlike, gently guided by our Scheherazade-esque narrator. Inconsequential moments take on the same significance as historical events: a couple floats over a war-torn Cologne; on the way to a birthday party, a father stops to tie his daughter’s shoelaces in the pouring rain; teenage girls dance outside a cafe; a defeated army marches to a prisoner-of-war camp.

Simultaneously an ode and a lament, About Endlessness presents a kaleidoscope of all that is eternally human, an infinite story of the vulnerability of existence.

"Andersson continues to make films that desire to capture no less than a grand sense of human existence - and that somehow achieve it. Here's hoping this one isn't his last." -Alison Willmore, New York Magazine/Vulture

"Funny, tragic, moving scenes unfold in Andersson's meticulously crafted frames." -Josh Kupecki, Austin Chronicle
